Peanut Butter, Banana and Honey Road Cake

April 2, 2012

This cake is delicious for breakfast or a snack. It’s also perfect for commuting and road trips. You can eat it with your fingers or a fork. It’s decently healthy, almost vegan (if there is such a thing), and my husband, who is not a fan of whole wheat baked goods, loves it. I know that cooking with whole wheat flour can be daunting, but I hope you’ll give this recipe a try.

I can’t even begin to tell you how much this snack cake ROCKS!! It’s amazing how the most humble of ingredients can produce a seriously moist and delicious tasting cake. There isn’t one thing I would change about this. My whole family loved it and fought over the left overs. Thank you so very much for a wonderful recipe that will be made over and over

For the husband – have you tried using white whole wheat flour? Same nutritional content as regular whole wheat, but many people don’t notice the same wheaty taste. I use it in everything instead of all purpose flour.

I am one of those people who thinks baking with whole wheat is scary!! But this doesn’t seem so scary. In fact, it seems to be the opposite as well as uber delicious. I’ve grown fond of things with cinnamon so this sounds like a good go-to bar to snack on in the afternoon!

Agreed! Cooking with whole wheat flour can be scary, but I find that whole wheat pastry flour is easier to work with and less gritty. You can also experiment by using half all purpouse flour and half whole wheat.
